Not quite today, but over the weekend...
A jolly trip home after a family visit. I did feel a bit of a heel when I drove around a string of cars stuck on a hill, the passengers flailing around in unsuitable footwear gamely trying to push the cars against gravity. However I didn't have a tow strap and couldn't do much to help.

This was just before we left at around midnight, after about 2 hours of snow. Must say the Cross Contacts are much better than the General Grabbers I had on the previous 90:



This was the following morning, just after helping another stricken motorist dig out and push his car. I think I did a valiant job of not looking smug. Must get a suitable tow strap, but it does rather make one feel obliged to help:



...and from another angle:

This last weekend I went for an adventure drive into the Troodos mountains (ended up in a town called Zoopigi)- it really is a pleasure to drive the Defender on those roads!

Went home via the 6' deep snow on top of Mt Olympus.

Also went to the supermarket...... Who is up for some dinner?
